2011 Honda Jazz 1.3L Petrol · LG11 OFM

The Honda Jazz presents a stable and generally well-maintained roadworthiness record, culminating in a clean pass at the most recent test on 22 May 2026 at 53,017 miles. Two minor advisories were recorded on that date: front and rear brake pads wearing thin. These are standard consumable wear items on a vehicle of this age and mileage, and their flagging at a routine test is normal rather than alarming. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with no evidence of escalating mechanical failure, though one recurring electrical fault requires attention. The odometer reading of 53,017 miles over approximately fifteen years equates to roughly 3,500 miles per year, which is notably low for a petrol hatchback. Mileage accumulation has been steady rather than erratic, climbing from 38,645 miles in May 2023 to 44,005 in May 2024 (a gain of 5,360 miles), then to 49,434 in May 2025 (5,329 miles), and finally to 53,017 by May 2026 (3,583 miles). This pattern suggests consistent light-to-moderate use with a slight reduction in annual distance covered over the past year. No suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the record are apparent. A recurring fault across multiple tests is the supplementary restraint system warning lamp failing to illuminate on the dashboard, noted in both the May 2025 fail and pass, and again in May 2026. This points to a persistent issue with the SRS bulb or its circuit rather than an airbag fault itself, as the 2025 failure specifically cited an airbag warning that was resolved before the retest. A buyer should verify the SRS system properly self-tests on ignition and have the fault code read to confirm it is a simple bulb or wiring issue rather than an intermittent control module problem. The May 2024 test flagged both front inner tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges, indicating possible tracking misalignment or underinflation over time. Combined with the current advisory on all four brake pads, a buyer should inspect the front suspension bushes, tracking geometry, and brake disc condition in person. The low annual mileage means the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary, so tyre sidewall condition, perishing, and corrosion on brake components and the underside deserve close visual checks despite the clean MOT record.
